You Two-Faced Bastard!

Introducing Mattel's DC Retro Action Two-Face figure. Sorry about the blurry photo he doesn't like his picture taken.

Ah, that's better. Very difficult to find at his usual haunt, Toys R Us, he escaped from a local TJ Maxx for the easy sum of $9.99.

The Penguin has arrived to welcome him to the toyshelf.

He fits in almost perfectly with vintage Megos. Don't turn your back on the Joker. Originally I didn't like how his suit differs from the Joker and Penguin's screen printed bodysuits but it is based on the secret identity Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne suit. Plus this kind of variety is exactly in par with vintage Megos (Penguin's molded on hat vs. Green Arrow's removable one and Tarzan and Wonder Woman's flesh body suits vs. Robin and Conan's bare limbs).

The Bat Villains assembled. Hopefully one day the Riddler will join them (along with the Joker's shoes and Catwoman's gloves.

The Marvel Megos don't seem very happy about another DC character moving in.

Don Floss to premire new work at Madison Art Expo

I was asked by my acquaintance, Don Floss (the self proclaimed World's Best Artist), to promote his showcase this coming weekend at the Madison Art Expo at the Radison Inn in beautiful downtown Madison, WI. He will be debuting his latest and greatest work, The Man Bath. I normaly don't endorse this sort of thing and find it very tacky but he asked nicely and promised to help me locate that elusive Marvel Universe Captain Britain action figure I have been searching for. Excelsior!

Now I'm banned from my favorite Target store.

First, I was put on the "(Hot Wheels guys) Wall Of Shame" at my local Toys R Us for looking in the overhead bins for action figures and threatened with arrest if I ever set foot in the store again.
Then, Old Country Buffet threw me out and banned me for life from all of their locations for eating too much of their "all you an eat" buffet.
Now, while out looking for wave 2 of Hasbro's Star Wars Vintage Collection action figures my Uncle Rudy went apeshit and thought he was in a John Woo movie and proceeded to engage in a mock (and I must stress mock, in case you are aware of Uncle Rudy's previous antics) gun battle with assorted customers and associates and severely beat up the Target cop with a pair of NERF battle axes. The police were called but Uncle Rudy advoided them by hiding out in a storm drain. I was ordered to stay out of the store for 10 years. Crom!
